I had a conversation on Bluesky with a writer at the New Yorker saying she didn't have much use for ChatGPT, though she had tried using it. I wanted to see if I could open a door, suggesting that next time there was an issue with a computer, that she bring the question to C...

The United States will host the men's World Cup in a little under one year. The vibe around the program could not possibly be worse, and enthusiasm levels could not possibly be lower.

Some of this funk can be explained by the U.S. team getting embarrassed on the field. Until they hung five goals on poor Trinidad and Tobago over the weekend, the USMNT had lost four straight games by an aggregate score of 9-2. Two of those were competitive games against CONCACAF rivals and two were friendly losses to legit European teams, though there's little point in drawing a distinction between the pairs of matches, because the stakes in both were the same: nothing. Losing is one thing. The larger and thornier issue is that if the team were winning, all they could win would be a reprieve from people paying attention to the program's structural bustedness.

You may recall from my “Siri Is Super Dumb and Getting Dumber” piece back in January that the Dickinson Public Schools District in North Dakota had the rather unfortunate nickname the “Midgets”. Back in March, the school district announced they’d be retiring the nickname, after nearly a century. Last month they announced their new name: the Mavericks. I’m going to call this the best rebranding of the year.

We still have the Estherville, Iowa Midgets to cheer for. But even better: the Yuma Criminals in Arizona. Now that’s a nickname.

In United States v. Skrmetti, the Supreme Court ruled that Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors was not unconstitutional—the first case of its kind on which the court has ruled.

"You can't be a serious critic," New York Times technology reporter Kevin Roose wrote on Tuesday, on Bluesky, about artificial intelligence, "if you're in denial about how useful it is." Narrowly, in strict terms, this is true: You can't be a serious critic of anything if yo...

I said I was going to take a break from AI-related blogging, so I’ll just link to this mostly without comment: The Open AI Files. There is a lot in here that skeptics will welcome. Good attempts at unraveling the corporate structure too.

I wonder what kind of machines are running Xcode Cloud. We have to do some setup for each build, and it’s significantly slower than running on my own Mac. Anyway, gonna push out an iOS beta shortly and then submit to Apple today with a couple draft post fixes.

On the podcast today we have Tom Wilmot and Jon Ang. This episode was recorded at WordCamp Europe, and we're talk about how Human Made built and manage the Standard Chartered Bank’s global WordPress platform. We discuss the scale and complexity of serving 70 countries, 500+ CMS users, and hundreds of millions of monthly page views, concentrating upon compliance, accessibility, multilingual strategies, and deep customisations built on the block editor. The conversation also covers Human Made’s open source contributions, the shift in enterprise perceptions of WordPress, and how close partnerships make massive, mission-critical WordPress projects possible. If you’re curious about how WordPress powers mission-critical web infrastructure for some of the world’s biggest organisations, or how you might pitch WordPress for enterprise use, this episode is for you.
